Powers of Katsu

by Eugene Kan, June 24, 2009

As a tribute to the short-movie Powers of Ten by legendary contributors Ray and Charles Eames, the Powers of Katsu take a similar approach in aesthetics and presentations as the original movie from 1977 it showcases the works of graffiti artist Katsu. Nick Poe and Alex Kalman of Red Bucket Films help coordinate and produce things with Katsu as Red Bucket Films begin their first solo show at the Crisp Gallery in London on June 24th till August 1st.

    this video is soooo tight. Katsu is one of the best. it’s hard to do a skull and not have it be corny. katsu’s skull is classic. and not to jock too hard but he’s up everywhere. i’ve seen him in lots of cities, pretty international. props katsu
